Title: Open Source Blockchain Explorer
Post by: No_2 on June 26, 2015, 09:53:59 AM
I'm looking for an open source blockchain explorer to create a website providing a GUI with views of the blockchain, its blocks and transactions.

Does anyone know of any projects out there, I've had a look but not much luck finding anything.

QBitNinja (I developed it)

Support Open Asset and Wallet management. I host 2 public servers so you can test before deploying yourself.

https://github.com/qbitninja/qbitninja (https://github.com/qbitninja/qbitninja)
http://api.qbit.ninja/ (http://api.qbit.ninja/)
http://tapi.qbit.ninja/ (http://tapi.qbit.ninja/)
http://docs.qbitninja.apiary.io/ (http://docs.qbitninja.apiary.io/)

Nuget package Qbitninja.Client (if you code in C#)

It depends on a Microsoft Azure Storage though.
But if you just want to make a website, you can just use the public servers.

It's been a while since I visited this but want to know if there are any other open source block explorers out there.

Please post here if you know of any. Thanks.

Thanks for this. Their demonstration site seems to be down (http://bitcoin-abe.info/ (http://bitcoin-abe.info/)). Do you know if there are any running versions of it?

So far I have found the following 3 open source block explorere websites:

  • github.com/bitpay/insight-ui (http://github.com/bitpay/insight-ui) (exampel site: insight.bitpay.com/ (http://insight.bitpay.com/)).
  • github.com/bitcoin-blockexplorer (http://github.com/bitcoin-blockexplorer) (example site: blockexplorer.com/ (http://blockexplorer.com/)).
  • github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe (http://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe) (example site: bitcoin-abe.info/ (http://bitcoin-abe.info/) site seems to be down).
